Blue LED Lamp SY22050-TWR2-B
Red LED Lamp SY22050-TWR2-R

2. Remove (3) #6 screws (located at the base of the flash tube) and remove
by lifting straight up.
3. Note LED Lamp orientation and replace with new Lamp in original location
as shown in figure below.
4. Reconnect the two wire connectors from the new LED Lamp to the strobe
base.
• Carefully route power cable from the strobe to power supply. Make sure to fuse
the positive wire within 10 inches from the power source (5AMP fuse min.)
Note - Any two of these series strobes can also be setup to flash together (syn-
chronized) or alternately. To setup two units to synchronized flash, connect the
purple wires from the two units together. To setup two units to flash alternately,
connect the purple wires from the two units together and connect one of the yellow
wires to the (black) ground wire. (The yellow wire on the other unit is not needed
and should be secured out of the way).
Flash Pattern Selection (Optional):
This MeteorLite LED Strobe Beacon has 11 available flash patterns. Pattern selection
is optional and should be performed during the installation procedure. The product is
preset from the factory with flash pattern #1, if this pattern is acceptable no further
action is required. If you desire another pattern, proceed with the steps below.
1. Locate the program selection (yellow) wire.
2. Power on unit by connecting the red wire to positive and the black wire to
negative on a (12-48 VDC) power source.
3. The strobe light should now be on and flashing. With the unit on, momen-
tarily connect (or touch) the yellow wire to the black wire to enter program
mode. Once in program mode, each time these two wires are connected,
the flash pattern will change. Continue until the desired pattern is active.
The Strobe will now flash in this pattern when it is turned Off and On.
See chart below for a list of the available patterns.
